Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Chapter 574 The Enemy Retreats

"Two days later, Wancheng won't be able to defend. We have to retreat to Xinye as soon as possible, and then set up a defensive line, otherwise Xiangyang will be like the former Xudu."

Guo Jia spread out a military division map, pointed to the location of Runan, and said: "If Runan also falls, Wenhe and the others can only retreat to Lu'an, and they can join Sun Quan and others in Huainan, but Runan is not Yes, the Lujiang River is also in danger."

If Lujiang is in danger, their weapons factory will have to be relocated, which will have a great impact on weapons production, and will also affect the fundamentals of their counterattack.

In addition, all of Chen Yang's family members are in Lujiang, which is also the most important point. If Chen Yang comes back and finds that Lujiang is no longer there, what should he do?

"I'm still ashamed of Zi'an!"

Cao Cao looked at the Lujiang River on the map, and a deep worry emerged in his heart.

"Prime Minister, it's not good!"

At this moment, Zhang Yun hurried in and said nervously, "The enemy is gathering at the city again, ready to attack Wancheng again."

boom!

As soon as the voice fell, a cannon rang and appeared below the city.

Cao Cao and the others quickly put on their battle armor and hurried to the tower, only to see Zhang Liao and Gao Lan already here, commanding the soldiers and horses to defend, and all the artillery was pushed up.

Le Jin led more than 2000 people, rushed out of the city gate to resist, and fought with the enemy general Wang Ji and others.

Ta Dun ordered the soldiers to set up the ladders and began to attack the city, fighting fiercely.

On Wancheng's side, they were barely able to block it again, but they were approaching the limit of what they could support.

The war lasted until the evening of this day, and finally stopped. The enemy could not take down Wancheng for the time being, so they could only retreat.

"Defending the city on the first day, it can be regarded as making it through."

Guo Jia counted the supplies for a while, and said worriedly: "Now we have less than [-] shells left, and all the crossbow arrows are used up. Tomorrow will be a deadly battle. I am worried that we will not be able to defend Wancheng anymore."

He cupped his hands and said again: "Prime Minister, please leave Wancheng, retreat to Xinye first, and then try to fight back."

Zhang He and the others said quickly, "The Prime Minister, please leave Wancheng and retreat to Xinye."

Cao Cao stood up and said loudly: "If you don't leave, I will stay here with you and fight to the death until the city is broken."

He has decided not to leave no matter what.

The news that Cao Cao was going to stand with them to the end spread throughout the entire barracks in an instant. After hearing this, all the soldiers burst into tears and their fighting spirit was rekindled.

At noon the next day, the beating drums on the city tower sounded again, and the enemy came to attack Wancheng again.

"Shoot all the shells out."

Cao Cao drew out his long sword and said loudly: "When the city is broken, all soldiers will follow me to kill the enemy!"

"kill!"

A deafening sound rang out from the tower at the same time.

"Prime Minister, no, they actually retreated."

Guo Jia suddenly pointed in the direction of the enemy, and shouted: "Come and see, the enemy has all retreated."

After the enthusiasm of the people calmed down, they looked around one after another, but seeing the enemy who was about to approach the city wall, they stopped for a moment, and then retreated to the north. They didn't even have time to withdraw the tents in the barracks, and they seemed in a hurry.

"How could this be?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, but then said loudly: "Don't be careless, I'm afraid there will be fraud."

They waited for more than half an hour, and the enemies outside left completely and thoroughly, leaving nothing behind.

"Prime Minister, I would like to lead 1000 people out of the city to find out." Gao Lan said with his hands clasped.

"Sure!" Cao Cao nodded.

The gate of Wancheng was wide open, and Gao Lan led the troops out of the city, and went straight to the enemy's camp, but found that there was no one there, and he didn't even have time to take away the supplies.

"Scatter to find out and see if there is an ambush."

Gao Lan said.

A thousand soldiers, divided into groups of ten, quickly dispersed, searched the surrounding area, and could not see any enemies.

"Did it really retreat?"

Gao Lan didn't dare to neglect, and hurried back to tell Cao Cao the news.

"How could the enemy retreat for no reason? Check again!"

Cao Cao said loudly: "Wen Yuan, lead 2000 people to chase after him. I want to see if the enemy has really retreated."

Zhang Liao responded and left the city.

"Prime Minister, do you think Zi'an's plan succeeded, and Sima Yi had to withdraw his troops when the northern and Xianbei people attacked Jin?" Guo Jia suddenly thought of this.

"Zian succeeded?"

Cao Cao was startled, and then said excitedly: "That's right, Zi'an must have succeeded, hahaha..."

An hour later, Zhang Liao came back and said that they had caught up with the enemy's rear and that they had really retreated.

-

At the same time, the situation in Runan City was the same.

The fight was going well, but Runan was about to lose his hold and was about to be breached. The enemies outside suddenly retreated, leaving Jia Xu and the others completely stunned.

Cao Ren sent people out of the city to find out that the enemy had really all retreated. Everyone in the camp left cleanly and no one stayed behind.

With victory in sight, how could the enemy retreat all of a sudden?

This is very abnormal!

"If I'm not mistaken, Zi'an's plan in Xianbei must have succeeded."

Jia Xu thought a lot at this moment, and said, "If it wasn't like this, how could the enemy retreat?"

When Cao Ren heard this, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Come on, come and fight with me, and hunt down the retreating army."

Jia Xu quickly shook his head and said, "No, if you chase him now, you will lose!"

Cao Ren said firmly: "We have been suppressed and fought for such a long time, and all the soldiers can't swallow this breath. Since the enemy retreats, they must make trouble with each other. If we don't pursue now, when will we wait?"

He didn't listen to Jia Xu's words, insisted on fighting, and led 2000 people to catch up.

The rear army that had just chased after the enemy's retreat suddenly saw the enemy's two thousand elite cavalry ambushing here, and rushed to kill them.

Cao Ren was overwhelmed and was defeated, so he had to flee back to Runan.

"I regret not listening to what Wen He said." Cao Ren returned with the disabled soldiers and said remorsefully.

"If you chase now, you will definitely win." Jia Xu said again.

Cao Ren didn't believe it, so Jia Xu let Xu Huang play.

Xu Huang did not refuse, and also led 2000 people to chase and kill him.

When the enemy saw the pursuers coming, they were defeated directly, and the horses and luggage were heavy, and they scattered all the way.

Xu Huang didn't dare to fight, he defeated the enemy, retreated back to Runan, and told everyone the result of the battle.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, then asked puzzledly: "Wen He, why did you say that you will lose the first chase and win the second chase, and it really all came true?"

With such clever calculations, he could soon catch up with Chen Yang.

"I was just lucky."

Jia Xu explained: "Although the enemy is retreating, they must use elite troops to stop them from pursuing them, so General Cao will be defeated. If the enemy is eager to retreat, something must have happened in the north. As I said before, it was Zi'an who succeeded. The one who defeated us After chasing troops, you must return quickly with light vehicles, not giving up your guard, go back as soon as possible, take advantage of their unpreparedness and pursue them even more, so General Xu can win."

"Wenhe has a great opinion!" Cao Ren exclaimed.

Runan, it can be regarded as keeping down.

at the same time.

Sun Quan, who was retreating to Huainan, also watched the enemy retreat, and they were all dumbfounded.

As long as he persisted, Huainan couldn't bear it, so how could he suddenly retreat?

"Zian should have succeeded."

Zhou Yu said softly.

They also learned what Chen Yang did recently.
